.it known that I' Grenen A. citizen ofthe United States, residintatJackson, county of Jackson, 'State of 'chi an,

.have vinvented a certain new' and useful rnprovementA in Roller-Beanland declare the following to be a full, c ear,1and exact descriptionvof the same, such as will enable others'skilled inthe art to which itpertains to make and use. the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, which form a part of this specication.

invention relates to an improvement a M in roerbearings shown in theaccompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out inthe ollowingspecification and claims.

the drawings :f-Figure '1.is a longitudinal section through thebearinshowing a -rolls'. 'F1

on the s aft. Fig. 6 isaplerspective View of shaft in osition. Fi 2 is aongitudinal section o a detail of 4t e construction showing the mannerof engaging together the su porting rings forming ,the bearing for -t ey 'g 3 is -a perspective view of the shell inclosing-.the"rolls, the twoparts of the shell being separated to more clearly disclose y theconstructlonof the parts.' Fig. 4 is a per'- spectiveview showing therolls as they ap- A ear mounted in the semi-circular rin igl. 5 isacross sectional view through t e mc osin shell, with the shaft andthimble 'one of the semic1rcular ing part of thebearing for the rolls.Fig. 7 is a erspective view o one of the semi-circular p ates, which inconnection with the semicircular ring shown in-Fig. 6 forms a bearingfor therolls.. Fig. 8 is a shaft hanger showannel rings formposition.

The purpose ofthisrinvention is animprovement 1n the generalconstruction of steel in a which it is" arranged to turn.

B are outstanding flanges on lthe ends of the thimble between'wlnch isAlocated the rolls and their bearings. 1 l h.
